This will be a quick post. We have received a phishing mail to our [email protected] mail address telling that they are "lemmy.world Security Team", telling that they will "disconnect" your account from our instance. This is ofc, not us. Do not fall for it! The attached image is how the mail looks like.
~Lemmy World Team.
Jesus. Phishing emails like this have become so commonplace I actually miss the old Viagra spam emails in l33tspeak.
How do you guys know it's not you guys?
Joke aside, i wonder why they wanna phish for user account in lemmy? Unlike the exploit like a few months ago that specifically target admin, this one seems like it target anyone, it so random.
Isnβt it a waste of time trying these scams on lemmy.
I could be wrong here but I would argue the vast majority of users are somewhat tech proficient since itβs not reached mass adoption and the user base is well, just us nerds?
Hello, it is I, John Security. Please respond to this message with your name and SSN or the FBI will arrest you for unpaid back taxes. Also, do you have any iTunes or Google play gift cards laying around?
Don't forget! Lemmy automatically detects and blocks sensitive information so it's totally safe to enter your SSN:
